Sign Your Support for Clean Energy in Saguache County

Your signature can unlock millions in clean energy financing for local businesses, farms, and organizations – at no cost to taxpayers.

The Critical Need
 Saguache County residents face among Colorado's highest energy costs and a 17.6% poverty rate. Meanwhile, our county is missing out on a proven solution that 39 other Colorado counties already use: Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (C-PACE) financing.

What C-PACE Would Deliver

For Small Businesses & Farms:

• 100% financing for solar, energy efficiency, and water conservation projects
• No upfront costs – energy savings exceed loan payments from day one
• Projects as small as $60,000 successfully funded in rural Colorado
  Agricultural properties explicitly eligible

For Our Community:

• Local job creation through construction and installation projects
• Reduced operating costs for schools, healthcare facilities, and nonprofits
• Economic development that builds local wealth

Proven Rural Success
Colorado C-PACE has already delivered over $250 million in clean energy investments across 39 counties. Small projects under $500,000 represent 44% of all Colorado C-PACE projects, proving this works for rural communities like ours.

Rural success stories include:

• A $1.64 million energy-efficient hotel in Sedgwick County (population 2,336)
• $60,000 minimum projects successfully financed in rural areas
• Job creation and economic development in underserved communities

Zero Administrative Burden
C-PACE is administered by third parties – the county has virtually no workload. The 39 participating counties report positive experiences with minimal administrative impact.

What Your Signature Accomplishes
 By signing, you're signaling that the public supports a simple county resolution that:

• Costs taxpayers nothing
• Requires little to no county staff time
• Unlocks immediate access to clean energy financing for every eligible property

Sign now to help Saguache County join 39 other Colorado counties in accessing this transformative economic development tool.

Once adopted, every commercial, agricultural, industrial, and nonprofit property in Saguache County becomes eligible for up to 100% financing of clean energy improvements with terms up to 25 years.
